#12117: New MSN account - No buddies appear online and cannot send or receive
messages

 I recently moved all my accounts from Trillian to Pidgin. I moved my MSN
 account to Pidgin during 2.7.1 I have been unable to send or receive
 messages or see anyone online on this account. Pidgin does have my
 account's information, such as who my contacts are and which contacts I
 have blocked and my display name (it apparently didn't update with
 Pidgin's display name and has kept Trillian's display name from what I see
 in the log). It should be just Wallaby without the bit of Hebrew in front
 of it.

 I know that these people are online because one of them is me on another
 account on the official client. When I try to send messages to myself via
 the official client to Pidgin (who does not appear online) I keep getting
 them sent back instead of having them sent as offline messages.

 Attached is a log of me re-enabling MSN with all personally-identifiable
 information removed.
